Last Friday I noticed my 20-year-old water heater was having issues. I suspected the recirculating pump. I called this company, and a few other local companies. The one I ended up working with was available same-day, so I ultimately went with them. I told them beforehand that I was looking for a recirculating pump with the full explanation as to why I wanted to go that route. I was OPEN to being corrected after inspection but no way in hell would I trust it at first. Whenever someone gives you a replacement quote, try to get multiple. And if you have a family member who knows things it can be helpful to have an advocate in your corner.

He showed up on time and was a nice guy. I do own a big house, so contractors usually see dollar signs. Lowest quote was for replacing the recirculating pump which is exactly what I asked for (w/ added warranty), one was for replacing with new tank water heater, last choice was going tankless. Once again, my water heater is 20 years old, so I don't feel like the replacement options were scammy at all to mention. When I went with just the recirculating pump there was no sigh, nothing to make me feel less than. Got that part swapped out right away and water is flowing perfectly to temperature must faster. 

Basically, they did what they said they would do. I do not feel like I was overcharged, lied to, or pressured. Better than when I lived in FL. TX hospitality is nice

Hey everyone!

I’m staying in Melissa, TX (near McKinney) and looking to play pickleball almost daily for the next 15–20 days.
I’ll be coming alone, so I’m particularly interested in:
Free or affordable open play where I can join without a partner.
Indoor clubs offering short-term memberships or affordable drop-in sessions.
Competitive players or groups I could join for regular practice.
Recommendations around Melissa, McKinney, Allen, Frisco, or nearby areas.

One more question about The Picklr: I noticed they offer a $30 trial for 15 days, but apparently it’s restricted to local residents. Since I’m visiting as a tourist and staying with a local friend, is there any way to qualify for the trial? Has anyone had experience with this?
My main goal is to get quality practice and competitive games without spending hundreds of dollars on a membership I’ll only use for a few weeks.
Would really appreciate any recommendations, group invites, or connections with local players.
Thanks in advance! 🏓

McKinney's commercial aviation plans are attracting business attention as the city considers the airport's future role in North Texas.

A commercial airport serving the northern suburbs could influence regional travel options, business activity, and transportation patterns across the Metroplex.

For residents in McKinney, Frisco, Allen, and nearby communities, would a more accessible commercial airport be useful for your travel needs? What concerns would you have about noise, traffic, or surrounding development?

Hi everyone! Are there any Dallas-area contractors who would be willing to help me get a contractor discount at Sherwin-Williams?
I’m a single mom currently going through a divorce and trying to repaint my home on a budget. I honestly didn’t realize how expensive paint has become! I stopped by Sherwin-Williams today, and one of the employees suggested ordering through a contractor to get better pricing.
I would be incredibly grateful if anyone would be willing to help me out or point me in the right direction. I’m purchasing the paint myself and just hoping to save a little where I can.
Thank you so much in advance! ❤️

Heyy looking for someone around here (I don’t mind driving out of mckinney) that can do alternative/vivid color services.

He seemed like he was fighting back against the police officer and there were two adults (I'm guessing parents) that seemed really bored. The adults were well dressed and the kid was in street clothes. Anyone knows what's going on with that? Thanks.

I just learned that my favorite coffee shop in the area, Leaf Cafe on McDonald & Lamar is closing down at the end of this month. If you're a fan or occasional visitor, you might want to take the chance to visit one final time. Last day is Halloween.

(I hope this doesn't class as a direct promotion, I'm an occasional customer, nothing to do with the business. It has been motivational for my daily walk.)

Hi, all

Looking for a new pediatrician around the area, our little one gets fussy in the car , so want to stick around the area.

We are currently going to lone star, they are good but i feel like i am not getting enough information from my pediatrician and not a rightfit for us. My LO has cmpa, reflux and poor weight gain.

Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for a neighborhood or area that will do Halloween, trick or treating, and all of that sort of thing right. For the last few years, we've tried in our neighborhood and street- set up a big screen in the yard playing old Halloween cartoons and movies, with a fire pit, candy baskets, decorations, and all of that sort of thing but it seems like no one else really is interested or cares, and we've kinda lost our motivation to keep trying. Our youngest has been really wanting an "old-school" halloween experience, so I'm wondering if there's any areas here that have things like this on Halloween night. Oh, and also, can we come?? 🙏🙏🙏

Where do my fellow Indians go for Mexican food?
I’m Indian and vegetarian, so I’d love recommendations from fellow Indians who enjoy Mexican food. Which places have good vegetarian options, and what do you usually order?
Everyone’s recommendations are welcome!

Hello everyone,
We are thinking about new built home in highland lakes community by Pulte home.
Can you please share the community, amenities, commute to major shopping and safety?
Also, I realized the new 380 hwy will be passing pretty closely. Does anyone know how close the hwy is going to be?
Thank you!

I saw this today at Bonnie Wenk park. They were trimming these trees down that did not need to be trimmed. I was just there yesterday and did not notice any low hanging limbs. Why are we doing this after triple digit record heat this summer?? Make it make sense!!!

I believe I have a slab leak that is causing a puddle in the main hallway area. I live in the tucker hill housing community

I thought everybody in McKinney was dead

Just saw our first monarch of the season a few minutes ago, is anyone else seeing them start to come through?

Hi all. We've been looking at communities around Prosper, Aubrey, and McKinney such as Painted Tree, Eliana, Aster Park and Mosaic. The new Ridgeline community really caught our attention due to its proximity to 75, Erwin Park, McKinney ISD, and property taxes around 1.4% which is low.

The community just started and homes are just being built and we were looking at a new build in the 60 foot lots (in purple). I pulled this image from the developer's website (I couldn't see this from the website of other builders and I can see why) and it seems like the planned 380 overpass with multiple lanes will be at the doorstep of this community. Does anyone know if we're talking less than a mile or somewhere between 1.5 to 3 miles which is what Copilot is suggesting? If it's really close, it might be a deal breaker and explain why the property tax is so low. Just for reference the sales office for one of the builders, Perry Homes, is at 3033 Orienteering Drive, McKinney, TX 75071 and Copilot estimates distance between 0.2 to 0.5 miles to the 380 bypass corridor.

If you folks live in any of the communities I mentioned above, let me know your thoughts as we're still trying to weigh the pros and cons of each. Thanks in advance!

Edit: My mistake in calling it an "overpass" and not "bypass" - unfortunately, I can't edit the title after it's been posted!
